While the Pittsburgh Penguins season ended what feels like ages ago, the NHL season as a whole has officially come to an end with the Colorado Avalanche winning the Stanley Cup. One of the bigger feel-good stories on the Avalanche comes from former Penguins defenseman Jack Johnson. After 1,024 career regular season games, Johnson will have his name etched into history as a Stanley Cup Champion.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are considered one of the best franchises in the Salary Cap Era, but where do they rank among the top dynasties? Do the Tampa Bay Lightning rank higher despite failing to complete their bid for a three-peat this season? With the Chicago Blackhawks and Los Angeles Kings also capturing multiple Stanley Cups in this era, they should also get consideration in this conversation.
Flames star Johnny Gaudreau could be among most popular free agents if he can't reach a deal with Calgary. Here's a look at others who could cash in.
